One handed decimal watch showing 5:20

It's Sunday. I don't need precision. One hand is enough.

Garmin Venu 3, showing the time in decimal format. In addition, at the top it has the percentage through the year. At the bottom a time and date stamp in more traditional format.

I needed a little break from a ternary encoded display, so I went back to one of my old favourites. French Decimal Time ๐Ÿ‡ซ๐Ÿ‡ท.

As a side note, since it is no longer DST in Europe and I'm the same timezone as the Swatch headquarters ๐Ÿ‡จ๐Ÿ‡ญ, it's also actually [โ€ฆ]

An analoge face decimal watch with a single hand showing the time as 3:56 mounted on wrist. In the background you can make out grass.

For some reason I cannot get rid of the idea of having a metric time (a.k.a decimal time) clock as a watch or as a clock.

Out of everything in the SI (International System of Units), time is the only one that is really integral in our life and yet is not following the decimal system. Everything [โ€ฆ]

A one handed decimal watch showing the time as just past 3:50.

How about more time trivia then. So what is the deal with 12 hour clocks if we have 24 hours in a day? Furthermore, why 24 hours? And if they are 24 hours in a day, why are there 60 minutes and 60 seconds? This seems illogical, right? Maybe we should [โ€ฆ]

Today from the #TimeLibrary my article about a quirky #DecimalTime system from the mid-20th century United States.

But first how did we wind up with 24 hours in a day anyway? Why are there 60 minutes in an hour? Wouldn't 100 make more sense? Maybe...

Picture of a wrist wearing a single handed decimal watch with a blue strap and white stitching.  The face of the watch is white and numbered 01, 02, 03, 04, 05, 06, 07, 08, 09 and 00 to represent decimal hours, each of which is 2 hours and 24 minutes in traditional time. 

The time on the watch is around 4.69 which is about 11.15.
